POT ROAST!! What a great comfort food! So rich in flavor. A one pan wonder!! 3 1/2 hours to do whatever you want! I love meals like this! This is good to make on a lazy sunday afternoon.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
3 or 4lb. chuck roast

Lots of garlic

Fresh rosemary and thyme

1 whole onion

Canned diced tomatoes ( I like fire roasted) about 15oz

2/3rds of a bottle of good red wine

1 1/2 cups of beef stock

Stud the beef with garlic slices, then salt and pepper all over on both sides. Heat up your pan till it’s extremly HOT! Put olive oil in pan and sear meat on both sides till it’s nicely carmelized. Take out the meat and throw in at least 6 whole garlic cloves that have been smashed with the side of your knife, along with a whole onion thats cut up,and chunks of carrots. Next take whole branches of rosemary and thyme and just throw them in, stem and all. Don’t be shy!!! ( the herbs fall out and you can take out stems later) When every thing is carmelized, add tomatoes, wine, and broth. Bring it to a boil, then place meat back in, now put it all in the oven for about 3 1/2 hours at 325 and fagetaboutit!!!!

You can serve this with mashed potatoes, wide egg noodles, or it’s delicious with a creamy polenta!!!

Buon Appetito
